COMMUNICATE WITH CONFIDENCE!
Our third quarter Pillar is Communication!
Your child’s ability to communicate with confidence will determine how well they cope with our ever-changing world! Are they filled with anxiety or a lack of confidence? US Budokai Karate will help your child stand tall, use eye contact and speak clearly with confidence!
Successful communication is far more than sharing information; it is also an understanding of the feelings behind this information. Successful communication can deepen and improve all relations in life. Developing communication skills can help us avoid conflicts, learn to compromise, and assist in better decision-making.
Junior and Teen Students are challenged quarterly based on the current pillar to earn Gold Stripes for advancement. Our first Communication challenge is Manners!! Take-home sheets went out this week to help direct our students’ minds to be on their BEST MANNERS for at least one week!! Gold Stripe challenge sheets are available at the dojo!
Leadership students who complete a minimum of 5 challenges will be invited to a Pizza Party-Game Night Supersession Friday, October 7! Parents, YOU will earn a night off – details TBA!! Leadership Challenge sheets are also available at the dojo to start tracking your communication habits now!
Lessons this quarter will include understanding emotions, verbalizing with “I” statements, practicing acts of kindness, positive self-talk, positive affirmations, and the importance of punctuality! When good communication becomes a habit, confidence builds and we live happier lives with less anxiety and fear!

LEADERSHIP is learning how to lead!
Leaders need to be able to communicate with confidence. Confident communication happens when your child’s confidence is greater than their fear of being in front of others!
We have witnessed a big improvement in overall confidence and communication with Leadership students!
How do Leadership students advance? Leadership will be ranked similarly to our karate belt rank system with students being awarded a “Leadership Club” patch at 50 classes (about 6 months) and colored chevron patches for every 50 classes as they progress towards the Assistant Instructor level. Students Green Belt and higher will also receive credit for Leadership advancement each time they assist with a class. Students who began assisting in 2021/2022 will receive credit for all classes they helped with since our return from COVID!! Leadership patches will be proudly displayed on the right sleeve of your child’s uniform!
LEADERSHIP EXTRA CREDIT CHALLENGES AND RAFFLE!
Leadership students will be challenged beyond Gold Stripe Challenges on 7-8 topics each quarter. We are currently working on DISCIPLINE and learning to build good habits.
You build your habits and then your habits build YOU!
Our first challenge is Nutrition!! Did your child try a new healthy food? Do they regularly drink 6-8 glasses of water per day? When the challenge is complete, drop your challenge “ticket” into the raffle basket for a chance to win an exciting prize!! This quarter we are raffling off 2 Cobra Kai/Karate Kid Themed Build-a-Bears!! The more challenges completed, the more chances to WIN!
